What Tuning/Monitoring Equipment?
I would like to get some tuning/monitoring equipment, but I'm not sure what I need and what product have overlap with each other. I also don't know where to get them? Anyone have some equipment they love and would recommend? I've heard of the Road Dyno, OnTrack Dyno, and I think it's called a BR-2. Which ones are the best and do I nee more than one?

Chris,
I've linked to the BR-2 several times. There is a link in the previous sentence for instance. Here's a pic:
The BR-2 is currently out of stock. Gee I wonder why? Give them a few days to make some more and then you can order one.
I've also done the same for the Road Dyno as well. Here's a pic for that:
I think that with the BR-2, the Road Dyno and the logging functions of the SMT-6, you'll be set and won't need any other monitoring/tuning tools.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Dr. Z.
That's what I'll get as soon as I get more money. This project has turned intot a neverending money pit it looks like. Sound familiar?

Not unless your Laptop has 3 Serial ports.
I doubt that you will have a laptop, much less a desktop puter with 3 Serial ports. However, two at a time should be sufficient. Hell, my laptop has only one serial port and I'm not worried. I can make adjustments on the SMT-6 then go for a drive and check out readings on the BR-2. Or I can make adjustments on the SMT-6 while driving and then swap the BR-2 in to have a looksee.
I wouldn't sweat it too much that you can't run all three devices at once. I'd use the Road Dyno and BR-2 to get baseline readings after you get the truck to run semi-decent with the SMT-6 and THEN start swapping back and forth while tweaking.
Hope this helps.

The Dyno Plus is promising more accuracy, and then the Dyno Plus Data Logger has a 7 channel A/D that you can set up to record misc info along with the run.
